assignGlobal

(TP 2.0+)

Assign a value to all variables with a specific name.

Description

assignGlobal ( string variablename, mixed value )
assignGlobal ( array( variablename => value ) )

The function assignGlobal() gives a default value to all variables, even in child blocks, with a specific name. This default value can be replaced in each block, which has a that variable, with the function assign().

<html>
<head>
  <title>AssignGlobal Example</title>
</head>
<body>
  <img src="{imagedir}/logo.gif">

  
    <img src="{imagedir}/img_{id}.gif">
  
</body>
</html>

myscript.php

<?php
include_once( "./class.TemplatePower.inc.php" );

$tpl = new TemplatePower( "./img.tpl" );
$tpl->prepare();

$tpl->assignGlobal( "imagedir", "images");

for ( $i=1; $i<=10; $i++ )
{
    $tpl->newBlock( "image" );
    $tpl->assign( "id", $i );
}

$tpl->printToScreen();
?>
